It was manufactured around 1967. I have tried it and it does not work
anymore. I am not sure if it is the power switch or not but it does not
power on. It is well made and is direct drive rather then belt driven.
The table chassis itself rides on a spring suspension and the actual
turntable is made of heavy metal with a soft rubber surface material.
It will play 33's, 78's and 45's though the little plastic 45 adapter
is missing. The arm has autoplay and autoreturn so you never have to
touch the needle. Cannot remember the actual term for it. It has pitch
control as well. It requires a receiver with a ground connection as it
has a ground wire along with its phono plugs. Cosmetically it has some
scratches and wear on the wood housing but overall it is in quite
decent shape. It no longer has its dust cover. It will likely need a
new needle as well. It spent its entire life connected to an old
Kenwood receiver which I also have up for auction. This would be great
for someone looking for a good solid turntable and should be easily
repairable. I am selling it as is.

No, not at all. It's got an idler puck. These things are a freaking
nightmare to work on because of all the autochange crap underneath there.
The power switch is mechanically coupled to the mechanism, so when you
pull the lever the switch is closed and the motor turned on, and when the
record is over the motor is turned off. Make sure that the switch is
actually being physically moved.

Idler mechanisms are different than direct drive AND belt drives. They
are the cheapest of the set but they can be designed reasonably well.
They don't provide the isolation of the belt drive or the high torque
of the direct drive, but they are very inexpensive to make.

It's called "autoshred" and it results in records being played in huge
stacks so the VTA gets progressively worse the more records you stack on.
